Cleaning Delicate Rugs Takes Care—Trust a Professional!
Oriental rugs and Persian rugs are considered works of art and collected by many people across the globe. Even though they cost a lot more, these precious rugs are ultimately just like the rest of the rugs in your home in that they get dirty over time. Unlike the rest of the carpeting and rugs in your home, though, you can’t just run the vacuum over them every couple of weeks when you think they’re a bit dirty. They need to be cared for on a regular basis. Continue reading to learn a bit about Oriental rug cleaning in South Amboy, NJ and why it’s a better idea to let a pro handle your cleaning needs.
Cleaning wool rugs
Vacuuming is the first step in cleaning wool rugs. Keep in mind, however, that household vacuums can damage wool rugs if they’re used incorrectly. Our method is a little different. We begin by slowly running a vacuum along the front and back of your wool rug three times; this will lift a good portion of the dust and debris. After it’s been vacuumed, we’ll mist your rug with a mixture of special rug cleaner and water. Next, we’ll shampoo the rug. Once we’ve carefully finished shampooing the rug, we’ll clean the fringe, which requires a sponge or special rug cleaning brush. Once your rug is nice and clean, we’ll hang it up to dry and give you a call when it’s ready for pickup.
Why hire a professional?
As you can see, cleaning an wool Oriental rug isn’t all that easy! It is very time consuming and complicated—and that was just a brief explanation of the process. Really, unless you’ve got a lot of time on your hands and you’re a big DIY-er, bringing in a professional to clean your rugs is a good decision:
- Save yourself some time: Unless you’re retired, you have a finite amount of free time on your hands. Do you really want to spend your time cleaning your rugs? No way! Let us handle all of your rug cleaning so you can spend your time doing other things.
- We know what we’re doing: Colored wool tends to bleed when cleaned. That’s one of the reasons why cleaning Oriental rugs is such a time consuming process—you’ve got to take time to ensure the colors don’t bleed. Luckily for you, we know what we’re doing, and you can rest easy knowing that your rug’s colors will remain intact.
- The job will be done right: Going along with the previous point, we’ll get the job done right the first time! If you try to clean your rug yourself, you could wind up having to clean it several times before it looks as good as you want it to. All we need is a few hours with your rug and it’ll look as good as new.
